Not bad

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2005)

This film was not even close to being the train wreck that many critics made it out to be.
I think the sins of the past caught up with Michael Ba7y and the film was unfairly judged. I saw where the producers were trying to blame the actors for mediocre work. That is nonsense. Neither McGregor or Johanson were bad, in fact, exact opposite.
Sure there are signature Bay camera angles, smoke, chases, etc. But they work well in the film and for the most part, he doesn't go for the full throttle assault, but is quite tempered in his approach when compared to his other films.
